To all 'wkom'it my concern.-

4 Be it known that I, FRANK YoKnL, a citi zen of the United States, residing at Pitts- .biflrfih, in the county of Allegheny and State ennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Lam and Mirror Fixtures for Automobiles, of w lick the following is a specification.

- .The-prime object of myinvention is to provide-a. new. and improved combined lamp .and mirror fixture for automobiles.

y Thepresent invention is particularly designed for usein connection with, what is known in the trhde as electric spot lamps, -the oombinedlemp and mirror fixture being gmobile i'vithmy' invention applied thereto.

designed to be secured to the frame of an automobile wind shield within the line .of'

.q-ViSiQl'l of the driver.

In the accompanying drawing which-illustretes an:ap'plication of my-invention, l

Figurellis n renr' elevation'al yiew showbig, a. portion of a-wind shield of an'auto- Fig. .2,'is an-e'lcvational view taken: st

portion of "ri ht angles to the view of Fig. 1.

ig. 3 is e top. plan view.

' Fig. t is a sectionaldetailed view taken on-Ti line '14 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designet'esn "usual construction to which my invention is designed to be applied, 2 en electric lamp, and 3 a mirror. The lamp and mirror are designed to be carried on the combied lamp and mirror fixture, the latter in turn being securely attached to the framework oi? the wind shield.

As illustrated and preferred, the fixture comprises a bracket including two complemental spring metal clamping members 4 and 5, each member being provided with innor engaging ends'fi designedto engage a- }iv ortion of the frame of the" wind shield. hese members are secured together by means of bolts 7 and nuts 7, the former be-' ing passed through saidmembers near the bulged portion inner ends thereof. 7 designates split or spring washers mounted on the bolt. Each of the members rend 5 is formed with a.

8, said oortions'being designed, when the members are assembled, to form a, socket for a vertically extending post or pin-9 on which the lamp is sdjnecehly jby pivotally securing the lamp to the head rovided Wit an adfiisting nut 15 and a spring washer 15.

The p' lu clure is provided with ei' projecting apertured lug-12,-and a centrally. disposed outwardly extending handle--13;

In assembling the parts, the aperture of the n lug 12 is brought into alinement with tbs aperture of the head of thozpost'9 end :9. bolt 14 passed'through said aperturesfthere of the post. The bolt 14 is A c amcteristic feature of the present -in 've'ntion resides in the quick oting locking .and releasing means whereby. the lamp may be removed bodily'from the fi'xturennd apd thereto with the least- Yamofint. of trouble and .Ywithont disturbing the positio of the rnirror'carried on the fixture. means, as illustrated, include a, headed her or bolt 16. havin "a 'flatiaperturedlshan portion 17, the Shah portion being M o through openings formed in clamp members 14 and 5, and an'eeoentric lever element 18-- pivotnlly secured to portion 17 of the bolt by a'pin 19.v

F om the drawingfit will be imam cthat when the-eccentric lever armj'is :down.

-m the position shown by F ig. 2, the outer ends of the clamp members will be brought together in such a manner as to maintain;

the pin 9 within the socket and prevent a removal of the lamp. Raising the lever s'e'p' I .3

crates the clamps sufficiently to enable the vertically extending pin to be withdrawn.

If desired, thelower end of the vertically extending pin 9 may be provided with an opening 9 adapted to receive a, padlock ltO, thereby preventing-the lamp structure from being removed without first unlocking thepadlock. 5?; The mirror is mounted omthe fixturcevyfc fi a. imiversaljoint ooamectionenabling j be shifted to various positions relativeito the fixture.
